needle turn applique {in progress}

I'm so enjoying this slow, relaxing, easy to pick up and put down when needed, no sewing machine necessary, needle turn applique project.

I'm using a pattern from this book by Denyse Schmidt. I'm still deciding whether to make just one block and turn it into a pillow cover or a mini, or whether to make four blocks to make a bigger sized quilt.

In any case, it must be something that does not need much washing as I don't trust the stitches that hold the flowers in place :( That needle turn applique can be quite tricky, I must say, especially when tight curves are involved.

i LOVE needleturn applique and probably that's all I do except for a small bit of piecing. I also design needleturn quilts and teach it. For me, its relaxing and i can prep a piece and then carry it around with me wherever i go. check out my website: www.focusonquilts.com.au
